Bhumata Brigade activist Trupti Desai on Sunday entered the Haji Ali Dargah in Mumbai and offered prayers without any hindrance.

She had earlier expressed hopes that no one would object to her offering prayers at the famous Dargah.

Really happy that no one objected us from entering the Haji Ali Dargah, so many Muslim women supported us, Desai said.

She said they would request the trustees not to go to the Supreme Court in connection with the matter.

It is 21st century. You should allow women to go to the inner sanctum. No one should object, as we wont hamper the law and order situation. Just like we offered prayers to Shani Dev, we peacefully went to the Haji Ali Dargah, she added.

The Bombay high court had on Friday lifted the ban imposed on women from entering the sanctum sanctorum of the dargah.

The Haji Ali Dargah Trust imposed the ban in 2012 citing religious traditions. Authorities then defended the ban, saying that the entry of women in close proximity to the tomb of a male saint would be seen as a grievous sin in Islam.
